Blackbird

For Micael -- Love You.

﻿This is my painting for Paint Party Friday. I'm early two weeks in a row! :) This is for a very special friend who has inspired me in more ways than I can ever begin to name. Here are the song and lyrics by Alter Bridge that also helped inspire the painting:

﻿Blackbird

The willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon it's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away

Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again

The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the jaded a place so impure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day

Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again

Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again

Ascend, may you find no resistance
Know that you made such a difference
All you leave behind will live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly and find you again

Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again

Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
May you never be broken again

Oooh Pam your beautiful painting is so uplifting and love the words you have added on your blog. I am very much in the learning stage and haven't found my style yet, am hoping to soon and then hopefully I will be inspired. You totally inspire me. Have a great weekend, Annette x

Stopped by from Rabbit's place today. Wow, what amazing work. I'm looking forward to exploring your archives for more of your paintings. Your blogroll looks well stocked too with more fine mixed-media artists. Have a great weekend! - G

Pam, this is just gorgeous!! I love the trails from the wings, showing movement and flight...the little patches of blues and other colors peeking through the cloudy white, and the way the bird's image just pulls the eye right too it. Happy weekend :)

I love how you consistantly express yourself in relation to inspiration; be it a book, a song or poem. You always grab the essence of the inspiration and create something new from your heart! Love this Pam!
